What's New?
From the Desk of Mr. Drouhard
Dear Amity Families,
While the pageantry of homecoming is many years down the road for our students at Amity, we still want to celebrate alongside our classmates at the High School. We will be having a spirit week to celebrate homecoming here at Amity.
Moving and Cruising Monday - Wear a shirt from your favorite vacation spot.
Team Spirit Tuesday- Wear your favorite team shirt or jersey.
Wacky Wednesday - Wear the wackiest and tackiest you can find.
Tie-Dye Thursday - Show off your favorite tie-dye shirt!
Deer Park Fan Friday - Wear your scarlet and gray to show your Deer Park Pride for Homecoming!
Also be on the lookout for your favorite Amity staff members, as we will be marching in the parade on Friday!
Take Care,
Josh

In Case You Missed It
Amity Breakfast
Please remember that the Amity breakfast is for students that need to eat breakfast in the morning. Students cannot just come to the cafeteria and sit prior to going to class. They MUST take a breakfast to come in the doors between 7:30-7:45 a.m. Thank you!
Attendance
Please remember to call our attendance line (513-891-2414) or email Betty Jung (jung.b@dpccsd.org), our attendance secretary, by 9AM if your student is going to be out.
This is especially important with the number of people that are either required to quarantine by the health department, or quarantining on their own accord. We need to be aware of these situations outside of school so that we can appropriately mark the attendance and provide guidance from the district if necessary.
Thanks for all your help!
School Nurse
Moving forward, all student COVID-19 cases occurring outside of school hours (evenings/weekends) should be submitted in one of the following ways:
A district nurse or administrator will reach out within 24 hours of the reported case to collect further details.
